Dieing age of RTS's

[SniperPatrol]

Sure, I used to play Command and Conquer, but now, I think that all RTS games are just going out of style. Of course, there are a lot of good ones left, but they are not selling as good was they used to. The really good ones right now are WarCraft III, Rise of Nations, Age of Mythology, and Command and Conquer Generals. Still, people play classic games like StarCraft which still is one of my favorite games of all time. But seriously, does anyone think that these games will make a comeback or will they just die out.

hard to say, i think they are seriously running out of new and fresh ideas, the only thing ive seen really change is the age/era of em, did see a new one that just came out that went from stone age to ww2 looked pretty sweet, but i get bored with rts fast, so i dont think they will ever get huge again, but theyll always be around

classic games like starcraft *gags*

I liked Age of Empires best of all the RTS's, I think. And AoK was better 'cause you could actually withstand a whole army of x kind of units.

there haev been some recent attempts. I think the problem is people haev switched to the adrenaline-pumping action genre, in general, heh. And RPG's.

However, I'd like to see a really good, great-graphics strategy game based from about AD 500 to AD 1800. Sorta like Age of Empires again, I guess, but with a much more complex market and fighting system.

I'm kind of tired of RTS games..When I start playing games again after my exams, I'm gonna play Colonization, Civilization (2) and Heroes of Might and Magic 2... I miss turnbased strategy games...

 

[paulewog]

I played Civ3 I think. Found it rather boring. That's a turn-based game, not RTS, right?

 

[MoonlessNight]

If you want to see what a dead genre is check out the new Adventure games some time...

There's lots of life left in RTS.

What they need to do is make a perfectly real world-simulated RTS (by that I mean it follows the physics of our world, not technology). Like TA, except it has a few things that are not so realistic like that terrain can't be cratered, targeting (eg when you target something out of reach it keeps tracking it even though it can't attack it, damage units don't move slower or have parts missing, etc.
